man 3.5 hours of swimming...I'd be dead hahaha. I lift for roughly 1.5-2 hours a day all at once, I might split it with the cardio but generally I lift then run or bike

It's nice to swim a 1.25km session at the gym sometimes
I just also did a 5 minute straight run. mostly uphill.
Good prep for the 800M at my school athletics on Thursday, and hopefully I can also throw discus better as well
It's something. During Christmas break when we don't have to go to school we'll hit 10,000 yards a practice. Usually I do crossfit and then drive drive 5 mins to school and then work technique in the morning and then lift again during the day at school and then have my main conditioning practice at night.
Been a 3 yrs out of the lifting game due to injuries. At this point im gonna try a hefty swim routine and be happy i not in a wheel chairlol
Last program i ran was probably one of my favirotes. Anyone has time pick up 5/4/3/2/1 great simple program but you will definitly add some weight to the bar.

Its been a few yrs but its a percentage based program. Heavy weight low reps. It starts off light and is based off your max rep. I forgot the intervals. I forgot if it was every week or every session but a percentage gets added to the bar amd gradually your max rep weight increases.
Its really good some amount of math involved but all is explained in the book. Its for big lifts bench, squat, and dead lifts can be applied to weighted pullup (wasy favirote) there aome other programs cover i liked as well something called boring but big was a high rep high set routine.
In all honesty though the 5/4/3/2/1 portion imo opinion shouldnt be done long term man its allot on your body.
If i remember correctly the book explains how to get a 5 repax based off your 1 rep max minus 30% each set would be 5 reps, then 4 , then 3 and so on.... tje one rep isnt supposed to be 1 rep. Its an all for broke set. If your only able to do the 1 rep or something low. Then you failed the session and no weight is added on the next session sound confusing and i definitly missed some points since its been a while but it definitly works

Man you guys got me thinking about this stuff...man i miss lifting soo much. I remember after the 1st surgery the drs were telling me i couldnt do my job anymore...i was like yeah ok all i could think about was getting back under the bar and was really pissed cuz i just got a nice trap bar for d-lifts and i never even got to use it.
would suggest doing either a upper/lower split or full body 2-3x a week, if you are trying to gain strength and/or lose body fat. This will get you there a lot faster than following a traditional bodybuilding split. You have to have really good genetics and pristine diet to make major gains for that....and or drugs. It also depends what muscle groups you are wanting to focus on. Also suggest HIIT no more than 2x a week if you are lifting a lot. Yeah, hiit training sucks.
Right now, I am doing a upper/lower split 3-4 workouts a week. Currently I'm doing a 5x3-5reps for my heavy lifts(deadlift, front squat, etc), then focus more on bodybuilding style(8-12) for back, shoulders, glutes, some chest, and then accessory work. I only do two bicep and tri exercises a week cause it isn't my focus. For cardio, I swim and bike. However, I should be cleaning up my food and doing hiit. Again, it depends on what your goals are.
Anyone here done 5x5, 5/3/1, or a Candito powerlifting program?
I know allllll about the genetics lol, This current split I'm running is just a month or so long because I need to be able to run 2 miles for the army in 3 weeks, so I have to make quick gains in my recovery on cardio. Don't you worry, I'll most likely give 5/3/1 a try once this is all said and done. My genetics are good lol, and my diets locked, I follow IIFYM and I've never had any issues with weight loss or gain doing so.would suggest doing either a upper/lower split or full body 2-3x a week, if you are trying to gain strength and/or lose body fat.

I do HIIT several times a week, otherwise I usually just bike for 10 miles or so on a good cardio day. My gym has a track upstairs which is great because I can run 60/120's all damn day haha.
